I'm in a big Journey listening phase, and as a long time Rycher, I'm fascinated to think what Tate's audition was like. What was it like, what songs? The audition is briefly mentioned in the Arnel documentary, but I think that's the only content of substance that I've seen. Does anyone else know anything or has anyone else seen anything substantive in this regard? Thanks

Continental Airlines Arena..NJ PNC Bank Arts Center..NJ Hartford Civic Center..CT Hartford outdoor amphitheater (name?... Vapor Trails opener)..CT Saratoga Performing Arts Center..NY Madison Square Garden..NY Radio City Music Hall..NY Jones Beach Theater..NY (*more than once at some. I'm sure some readers have a list much greater than this! If I could choose one other, it would be Red Rocks)

I listen from the "drums out", meaning that my primary point of listening is the drum track, and then the other tracks build on that. I was thinking that this explain why I love all the eras equally through Counterparts.

Hi...I have asbestos tile flooring on a concrete slab home (built 1950). It is currently covered with carpet that I want to get rid of. What is the best way to cover the asbestos tiles. Vinyl sheet? Epoxy? Concrete? A floater? Thanks. Note... concrete most likely contains cracks.

Hi...I have a link crazy lace agate necklace from a reputable jeweler, but the color is transferring to my skin and clothes. I've soaked it a dozen times in a water and dish soap solution, but the problem persists. I love the piece and it wasn't cheap. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks

I bought Presto the day it came out, and probably listened to it more than any other Rush LP, but man I love everything about this song right now. Especially, of course, the drums and the bass!

We're all dazzled by Neil's chops and compositions, but like the title suggests, does Neil get enough credit for his groove? I've been focused on this lately when listening to him, and it's really added another dimension to my appreciation of his playing.

Hi... my time for practice competes head to head with my time for the gym. One advantage the gym has is that it is out in public and has other people pursuing the same goals. I love practicing piano, but after a long day of working alone from home, I like to get out. This got me to thinking: what if there was organized group piano practices? Like the gym, but for piano! Any thoughts? (p.s., I live in the 'burbs)

Hi..we all agree (or at least we should!) that Neil is an all time great drummer and an all time great lyricist. Is there any other musician that is double threat to such a degree? For example: is there a "all time great guitarist" who is also an "all time great singer"? Phil Collins comes to mind, though I don't think he's a Mt. Rushmore drummer or singer (pretty good at both, though).

I would ask about sitting in with Yes on "Roundabout" during their HoF induction. Like, you're on stage, and Steve Howe goes into that iconic song-opening on the acoustic; what's going through your mind? I've watched it a million times, and i simply become more enthralled by it each time.

Any white v-neck t-shirt that I find looks like an undershirt if worn alone. Looking for something thicker and better quality. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I was between the ages of 12 and 17 in the years 1980-1985. The impact of this album, at the time, can not be overstated. I realize from this forum that it does not rank as high among some of the younger listeners, which is fine. Think of it this way: You and I may look back at Elvis in the 50's, or the Beatles in the 60's, and be like "yeah, whatever". But to the kids at the time, these acts were life changing! Same goes for hearing Number of the Beast as a young teenager...it was life changing! Any Gen X'rs want to be back me up, feel free!

He has higher high's on SiT and 7th Son, but I think weaknesses also become more apparent on these two. For example, the outtro of Long Distance Runner shows a lack of...something. He sounds lost during the guitar solos of Evil That Men Do, and then begins to overuse that pattern found during the verses of Clairvoyant. Just my opinions of course. Who am I, my kit consists of a 4" practice pad!

Hi...as the title suggests, I'm looking for a reputable clinic in the Hudson Valley, New York. Preferably no further south than White Plains, or no further north than Albany. I know HT recipients should be willing to travel, but that is unlikely so I'm trying to be realistic. Thanks!
